Act 3

The silence was earsplitting. Light started to chuckle as the three boys suddenly shot up trying to avoid ‘telling’ on each other. L just stood there listening to their pathetic attempts to tell him who started it and what had happened in general.

“See, Matt-” Mello said gesturing to the red head with his thumb.

“See Matt nothing you baby!” Matt shouted “This pansy wanted to dump sand!”

“It was both of your's idea.” Near said trying his best to look and act as innocent as possible.

“YOU HELPED, PANSY!!!!” Both teens yelled at the tiny albino.

“Enough.” L tried but ended up putting a finger on his forehead as the boy’s continued to scream and shout things into the air.

Light finally could see that L was having about enough when clods of thick sea mud smacked him on the neck, back of the head and shoulder. All talking stopped and heads turned to stare open and unashamed at the now splattered man.

“RUN!” Matt shouted as more mud clods flew at them one hitting Mello with a heavy Splat. Matt was going to laugh but one hit him in the mouth! Near was hit in the back and finally two were planted on L’s thin stomach. He motioned for them all to retreat behind the same sand hill they had caught the boys behind.

“Got a plan?” Light said he was trying his hardest to stay away from the crazy whoever’s that had invaded their beach day. “This is vandalism! And trespassing on private property!” Light rubbed at Near’s back but the mud would require water to be un-stuck.

“This is true” L said poking at his white T-shirt. “But, we can’t be sure till we get a confession from the three instigators.”

Finally they got the whole story.

“And why didn’t you just come tell us?” L scolded with his sternest look. “If you knew the beach had been trespassed on you should have gotten me. I would have been more then happy to get ride of the flirty girls.”

“Well.” Near said twirling his hair, “Mello wanted them for something gross.”

“That’s a lie!” Mello said pulling Near’s arm in a vice grip.

“No it’s not.” Matt chimed in until a fist hit him square in the jaw. “Damn, Mello!” he shouted reaching behind him to grab some sand but Light stopped him.

“This is all you boy’s fault.” He said sternly “Now what are you going to do to fix it?”

The pause was meet with three grins. “Fight back of course.” Near stated as though it was obvious, “These girls wish for revenge on us for the sand. So, why not retaliate with them. Mud against mud, I say.”

A smirk plaid L’s thin lips. “I believe that is the right thing to do.” He said getting up and peeking around the dune. “It appears that from where these mud balls came from is that hill over there. Shall we test this theory before we open charge and attack them full on. No doubt they will be caught off guard and surprised.”

Mello shot his hand up. “I wanna be the tester!” he seamed very eager to go out. Go figure. Mello loved to fight whether in play or reality. Before they could agree or oppose he ran out in the open and shouted “HEY TRESSPASSERS! IF YOU WANNA FIGHT WE’RE READY FOR YA’!” Immediately mud came flying from the hill L had pointed out, but instead of running back Mello dashed to the bank and jumped into the water.

“Well. That’s one way to get a clean get away.” Matt snickered. Soon all the boy’s were running and diving into the water even L and Light. Who dived in with great synchronization being chained together. They came up soon and joined the others in tossing heaps of mud at the girls that they could now see clearly in their fort. Passerby’s thought the small area had become world war three with the noise that flew out. Screams, shouts and various curses riddled the air while sand was tossed with the padding and stomps of feet. Beware any creatures that came up on the beach as the morning became afternoon.

Finally a truce was called from Near, who was now covered from head to foot with a bad burn. They had forgotten to screen him in the fun of the war.

“A’ right, Gals!” Tsuki called halting the two blonds from stuffing mud down each others throats. “This little guy’s gotta be taken care of! How’s about we call it quits wif ‘em and resume at some later time?”

The group looked at each other and agreed. L picked Near up and motioned for others to follow them. Mar lagged as the other started for the hill. The other two stopped and waited for her to catch up. “What’s wrong?” Kara said brushing her hair out of her face. The wind insisted for it to be blown over her head. Stupid elements.

“The hot guy with the black hair’s got a guy chained to him.” She said flopping her head to the side. “It’s depressing for me to watch that hotty go for that snob.”

Matt and Mello’s heads shot around at that. “She thinks-” Mello said trying to stop himself from dying laughing. Matt fell over and held his sides as he chuckled at the thought of L and Light! Oh they could have fun with that!

Act 2

The boy’s had been playing for a while. When Matt started to not pay attention to the game. He kept getting nervous and fidgeting the ball when he had it. Finally when Near had to go get on more block he pulled Mello over to him.

“This is the Whammy’s private beach right?” He said pulling Mello closer to him and whispering into his ear.

“Yeah.” The blond said cocking an eye brow at the red head.

“Well. Theres some girl that keep watching us from over the wall.” He said. “I didn’t want to say anything around Near and get him angry or something.” Matt said glancing back at the three men who were talking.

“Are they still there?” Mello said. He sounded at little too eager. He was standing still as a statue and that meant trouble for poor Matt.

“I think so.” Matt sighed. “I don’t know what you’re thinking Mello, but I don’t want any part of it.

“Oh. Yes you will when I get us some hot babies!” Mello said walking out of the water. “I’ll be back. You can stay here.”

“Wait! I’ll come!” Matt said tearing after the now running blond.

L looked up from oiling Near to watch the two boys run behind a ledge. “I believe they have left you to find them.” He said glancing at Light, who was also as curios about the boys escape.

“If you would unchain me I could go see.” The caramel bodied man said. Light had finally taken off his own shirt. Tennis training and numerous other sports had pumped this human into a god like statue. Such as the kind you see in museums and exhibits, only softened with his modern textures. Soft carefully cut hair blew in the open, salty air.

“No, Light-kun. I can not trust you to be out of my sight for a moment.” L said shooing Near to go after the other two.

“What? You think I’ve got a hidden Kira thing on the beach some where?” Light slapped himself in the face when he saw the look the panda like man gave him. He would never prove his innocents to the crazy detective. He would be doomed for ever to be look like some freak couple chained together. The thought sent waves of nausea threw his system.

Slightly out of breath, Near finally caught up to the other two boy. They glanced at him as he came up and put their fingers to their lips to sign for silence. He stood with them and perked his head at the sound of soft whispering voices around the bend. He shot a small glare at Mello and Matt, who rolled their eyes and tugged him away from the bank.

“There are three girls standing there talking about us.” Mello said rubbing his hands together. “Me and Matt were just trying to come up with a plan to ambush them.” He grinned broadly in a Cheshire cat style “Maybe even take them hostage.”

Matt started to chuckle and grinned with his blond friend. “What would we do with them, Mells?” If he could grin any more he would. “I would prefer-”

“That you two STOP this foolish behavior and we go get L to chase them off.” Near said crossing his arms together and cocking his hip. The epitome of cuteness!

“Come on, Near” Matt said holding the small boy by his shoulders. “This could be really fun!” An idea hit him when Near sighed “If you help us with this I’ll spare smoking in the hotel room while we’re on vacation.”

The white curls flew about as Near turned his huge eyes up at Matt. “You promise?”

“Cross~my~heart~hope~to~die!” Matt sing songed emphasizing his sincerity by making the said actions.

“And I’ll make sure he does!” Mello chimed in pretending to put a gun to the red top.

“Fine.” Near said “Whats the plan?” He started twirling a lock of his snow white hair in his fingers. “They are girls. Shouldn’t be easy to scare really.” A cocky smile found its way to the thin lips.

“First we have to get above them.” Matt said drawing the chart in the sand.

“Then we take said substance” Mello finished scooping up a handful of the fine dust “and very slowly and softly sift it on them. I like it going down the back myself.” Mello said nodding his approval.

“Well?” both heads turned to the tiny albino, who looked as though they should have more to say. “After we dump the sand then what?”

“We let nature take it’s course.” Mello said receiving a vigorous nod from Matt. “We’ll get to that after the first step. You don’t rush art, Near.”

“Fine then.” Near said standing up and scooping as much of the sand as he could in his hands. The others could only stare as he started to walk away. They had never seen him act like this. It was kinda fun for them as they joined him, also armed with their own sand bombs.

They crept around and made careful steps up the hill till they again heard the voices. They lay on their stomachs and Near scooted enough to see where they were. He gestured the other forward and motioned for them to look. Mello and Matt looked at each other and finally moved up with him.

Bellow them Three girls sat. It was hard to tell ages yet, but then maybe their voices gave that. Mello strained his ears to hear them.

“That was dirty, Tsuki.” A girl with shoulder length strawberry blond hair said nudging the girl next to her.

“S’not.” The girl Tsuki retorted pushing the girl, causing a chain reaction that sent the last girl into the sand.

“Cut it out!” The pail blond, who had hit the ground, hissed. “If you two give us away I’ll punch your lives out!” She turned back to watching the beach.

“Are they back yet, Kara ?” The girls asked. “Yeah, man.” Tsuki said “Watching that red head dude is wayyy funna then sittin’ at home.”

Mello glanced back at the others and slowly slipped some sand onto the blond girl’s back just stopping at her rear end. She sharply turned to the other two. Who actually back some away from her killer glare. “I. Said. Stop. It.”

“Dude!” Tsuki said holding up her hands, he long red braids coming loose and flapping behind her. “Chill! We’ve been too busy looking for the hotties to touch you!”

“Yeah.” The last girl said. “Don’t kill us. Theres sand all over the place damnit.”

“Fine.” The girl said then turned to the older girl. “You come up top for a while, Mar. I gotta get some of this crap off me.”

As they shifted places the boy put all hands over the side and dumped their contents. Gasps came from below as the girls got doused in the slippery sand. Followed by a “What the Hell!?” From Mar. The boys slid down their side of the hill holding back hysterics as they continued listening to the girls cursing and scrambling about.

“T-that was great!” Near sighed out laying flat in the sand. The others nodded finally letting out a ripping chorus of laughter. Their prank had worked! It couldn’t get any better than that! Their stalkers would have to come out! And then they could go to plan B: Steal the hostages for fun time!

“What worked out so well?”

The boys turned to find both Light and L looking at them like they were cats killing canaries. They were sunk and they knew it.

Act 1

The beach shone in the early morning light. Its beauty was reflected off the bus that pulled up and opened it doors, to the relief of the five boys getting off.

Two, who were obviously older, clacked with their stuff and the metal chain that stuck them together. The other three were in their early teens. Each had their respective stuff tucked under there arms.

One of the older men held out a whistle. All the teens held their breath waiting. The silver was raised to full pink lips. The boy’s lined up for a race.

“TA- TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!”

The younger boys took off down the sand dunes to the cool sand, laughing when their feet hit the fine dust. They immediately started to throw sand at each other; tossing their stuff on places yelling various things at each other.

“Mine, Bitches!” A blond boy yelled slapping his stuff on a particularly high sand hill. He ripped off his black cotton shirt, leaving on only his low tied black swimmers, to show off tanned skin, ripped with youth type muscles. His toned chest took in deep breaths emphasizing his upcoming six pack stomach. He ignored the sun hitting the scar that ran from the left side of his face to the low-end of his middle back section. Thin but strong legs strode along the sea end of the private beach until he reached the next hill.

On this one was a teen just a few months his junior. “Don’t act like an idiot, Mello”. The taller boy with a shock of bright red hair laughed to his close friend. Everything this boy had was covered in different game symbols right down to his Final Fantasy II trunks. He wasn’t as tanned as his friend. But, he still showed his stuff with a swimmers body. Even muscles pulled and pushed under his skin when ever he moved. He used dexterous arm power to slide and climb down his hill to join his friend and moved on to the next hill that was occupied by the last three people.

“Matt’s right, Mello.” The oldest said rubbing the smallest body there in lotion. “This is an open area and we don’t need to draw attention.” He turned the tiny body in front of him around as he continued his ministration of ointment. “Near.” He said firmly “If you don’t hold still I might miss a place.”

“Yes, L.” The boy said standing erect to give L access. These two looked like opposite images of each other. The elder’s head was covered in messy, thick, raven black hair. He had yet to remove his shirt, but his legs were muscled beyond belief. This was of course thanks to his odd sitting behaviors and tendency to play tennis with his chained partner. Who was struggling with the large umbrella they had brought.

The small boy was the picture of a walking snow child; nothing at all like other boys his age. He was tiny in size and barely had any muscle to speak of. They only showed really when he moved or flexed. His infantile appearance wasn’t helped by his milk white skin and thick, curly, white hair. He had on small cream colored swimming trunks. He chose these when the others had said if he wore white he would look naked. Not wanting to be the nudist, he went and bought slightly different colored things.

“I don’t care if it’s open.” Mello said stubbornly crossing his guns over his chest. “I could scream that and run naked all along here and no one would be here to say anything about it. Right, Light?” He said tossing a glance at the other adult there.

The man chuckled and looked the tan teen in his bright blue eyes. “Now that would be entertaining. A naked Mello running and screaming profanity at the top of his lungs.” He closed his caramel orbs and started to laugh hysterically.

Mello’s mouth hung open at the comment. “Shut the f-.” He was cut off by the long thin pail hand that covered his mouth. L was giving him the look of death. So the blond opted to instead to flip the laughing male off and turn away.

“Are you done?” Near said. “I really want to go play with Matt and Mello.”

“Yes, Near, you are done.” L said letting the three boys go run down the hill together. “But, come back to get your next coating in twenty minutes!”

Near looked at the sky and nodded to his mentor before tearing down to the water with the other two. They immediately started a game of water beach ball, smacking Nears bright colored ball into the air with resounding ‘WACKS’!
